Too little too late. Especially for a game that went from 6 million active users to to 30k in a month.
BG3 came out and RPG fans across the world realised what an RPG was actually meant to be. D4 is so, so shallow, it honestly did not hold my interest through the first season.
The base game content is barely interesting enough to play through, let alone playing through again from scratch with only the four quests they added to spice it up again. Drab.
I don’t want annual expansions. I want good ones, no matter how long they take. Stop rushing shit. I miss “soon ™” Blizzard.
Those people left the company. Frostgiant studios is made of most the leads from blizzard that made starcraft and warcraft.
All the blizzard leadership cut out and have started a few new studios with games in the works. Don’t expect anything but highly monetized low effort money printer sequel game from Blizzard anymore. Stop buying their shit.
Honestly, having know this I wouldn’t have bought D4 in the first place.
It was expensive as fuck for a game that I played a week at most, and got boring. Not saying the game isn’t great on some aspects. The story and graphics are amazing but… other than that it’s not that interesting late game.
Spending 60€+ on a game that has battle passes and an ingame shop on top of it, for them to add one expansion a year after, yearly? Wtf
It’s true what they say. Blizzard has gotten greed af.
This has probably been the last game I will ever buy from them. There are already Diablo 4 private servers, I think I’ll just wait until those catch up with those expansions…

The Blizzard of old doesn’t exist anymore, it’s just a shell.
Yep… I just loved Diablo too much but I guess this was the last time…
I am curious how this acquisition from Microsoft will go though. I don’t think it can get worse so maybe it’ll get slightly better.
heavily breathes in hopium
I doubt consolidating games companies under a bigger monopoly will be a net positive in the long run.

As soon as I saw it was always online, I decided to pass. It looked fun, but I just hate “live” games so much.
I agree with you, but unfortunately that’s the reality today. Having been raised playing DII with my dad, Diablo is too big of a franchise for me to skip because of live services.
I completely respect that though. I hope one day live services will be gone or optional. But that’s not very likely…
I felt the same way about Halo for a long time. It took 2 bad games before I just didn’t bother with the next one.
To me, the late game is boring because it’s not as tactical as previous Diablo games. The view is so zoomed in and the enemies are so fast, numerous, and squishy that you basically just have to chew though the closest enemies. It’s not tactical or challenging. It’s either too easy or too hard and your skill doesn’t matter at all. I beat it once and don’t feel the urge to play it again.
I never thought about the camera but that could be one of the things that bothers me, now that I think about it…
I thought that with season 1 I’d be more hyped to play it, but it seemed so shite I couldn’t bring myself to playing it… And now, knowing that there’ll be expansions yearly, I don’t think I’ll ever bother lol.
That was my experience too. I tried to play seasonal content and quit after level 5.
Why’d you buy it so quick? It’s not a ride the wave game where you need full lobbies, it’s an arpg that should be durable and accessable for years to come.
You’re right. I didn’t even buy it pre order because I hate doing that and never will. So, after the game was launched, I watched some streams, the game seemed fun and no really big complaints anywhere. A couple of friends also bought the game, and told me it was fun.
And, to be honest, they weren’t wrong. The game WAS fun… Until you end the story and it’s just boring.
I played on both betas too and did enjoy the gameplay and such. Couldn’t wait for more of the story…
So that’s how I ended up buying it 1week or so after release.
I’m good, but thanks.
I played the demo and had a decently fun time with it. I probably would have bought it if it was like $50-$60. Of course it releases at $80 for the base version and no price drop since. Then comes the talk of the grindiness, now this. Just a bad deal all around.
It was good at release, but it’s been mediocre at best, garbage at worst, since.
The $80 pricetage made me not even consider it. Especially when you know they’re going to milk as much cash out of you as they can for expansions/DLC or anything else.
Two new classes over 4 years?
This is the first Diablo game that I’ve uninstalled within a year of getting it. The fact that it’s only been a couple months and it got worse not better makes this worse. It’s a seriously flawed game, and expansions won’t help it.
